We are not powerless against wildfires. #Wildfire research has identified science-backed ways to meaningfully reduce a home’s wildfire risk. Wildfire mitigation STARTS at the parcel level and can be a pathway to more wildfire-resilient communities.

Heartbroken by the Los Angeles County fires, I’m hopeful we can minimize future #wildfire destruction. Embers can drift miles from a wildfire, igniting anything combustible. Creating a 5-foot noncombustible buffer around a home can reduce ember ignitions. usatoday.com/story/news/nat…

Embers often lead to destruction during #wildfires. They can travel for miles and ignite combustible materials in our neighborhoods. Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety research points to the need to create a 5-ft noncombustible buffer around homes to reduce this risk. The Associated Press apnews.com/article/califo…
